Installation and Maintenance Instructions Safety Messages to Installers and Users It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This sounder is to be installed by a trained electrician who is thoroughly familiar with and will follow all applicable national and local codes in the country of use.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions • Establish a procedure to routinely check the sounder system for proper activation and operation. • This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G; Class III or non-hazardous locations only.
The metallic brass inserts have a capacitance of 24 pF. See the manufacturer's instructions for further information. cULus Zone Certifications: The following models are C1, Zone 1 and 21 certified: G-SND-MV-D and G-SND-MV-T. Models not mentioned are not suitable for Class, Zone locations.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions Creating Combination Fixtures in the Field The Federal Signal Global Series Ex de products can be connected together in the field using interchangeable E-box end caps and a proprietary coupling system (Figure 1). Figure 1 Sounder and sounder combination fixture The proprietary coupling system allows for simple and cost effective, wiring from product to product, often eliminating the need for expensive Ex wiring practices and Ex rated glands.
Installation and Maintenance Instructions A note about combination fixtures: If the product is Ex db marked only, it is for use in gas atmospheres. If the product is Ex db e marked, it uses the increased-safety terminal enclosures and is only for gas atmospheres.
